RockyMtnMC sells SuperM. Even by the time you pay their stoopid shipping fees, it's still a whole lot less than you'll find it anywhere else.
Well...I buy the 'value pak' BigBottles.
Amsoil Shamsoil.... But...whatever............

Not to say that Amsoil is better than everything...but for what it's worth, it's all I use...in my dirtbike...to mix in the gas. Granted I haven't used a great many different brands of two stroke oils...actually most have been various Amsoil types. Anyway, I've never had a problem with spooge while running Amsoil, and my bike is still running on a 100% original bottom end (until this winter, when it will get its first tear down). When I did the top end a few years ago, there was very little carbon build up on the powervalves (considering 4 or five years previous to that having never been apart).
So I guess I'm from the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' crowd on this topic. I have zero complaints and the various Amsoils are readily available to me (Hell, I live only a short drive from the world headquarters). Other brands of oil are not nearly as consistently available to me around here...they are commonly available, but not as consistently in so many places. Then again, maybe I only notice the Amsoils and have blinders on to the rest.

Carvr, you keep trying to appoint yourself king. Queen is as high as I will rank anyone, for now.
Now, you KNOW there are differences in quality of oils out there or you wouldn't be dealing with SuperM right now. So, if one oil (BelRay) is pure crap, then another oil MUST be at the other extreme. Not every oil, although every oil may be better than that stuff. I don't go by numbers and it's caused me trouble with a certain chain nazi we all love. Experiance, in my book, is all that matters but I do need to have a base to work from. So, independant studies and data are the best hope of that and gives me a starting point. Then comentary from users who's opinions I respect weeds down the crowd until I have a few oils to test. SuperM, for now, is the best I've tried. Mobil 1 MX2T is the worst. In both performance and spooge. Redline is almost as good as SuperM but stains everything red. My natural colored tank on my KX will eventually end up a muddy stained mess if I ran it all the time. It does make it easy to tell you added oil though.
BTW, back in the mid '80's I used an Amsoil product that was an octane booster of some sort. A few drops per gallon was the only thing that could make my YZ490 start reliably. I loved that stuff. It would turn any 2 stroke into a half kick starting bike. It came in a clear bottle shaped like most gas additives; a long, thin neck and about 8 oz container. Anyone recall that stuff?

I don't preach it... just use it and believe in it. It's not dyed either .... so use a specific can and mix everytime you add.
I've never had a new car or else I would use it in it too, the long change intervals ends up saving money over conventional oils... but that's neither here nor there...
I don't recall what you speak of Jer.... They may still make it as they do make fuel additives.

I never said Carvr was the queen of anything. The reference was to the bike. Most refer to their KDX as a gal. I do anyway.Indawoods wrote:No one ever said King.... Queen I believe was used in reference to your spoogism!
Now if I toss out a general garment and someone claims it fits, then there's nothing I can do about that, now is there!?
